Title: Improvements in Automatic Electric Regulators, Output Adjusters and the like.
Inventor: LEITNER HENRY
IPC: H02J7/18
Filed: 1909-07-07
Granted: 1910-07-07
Abstract: 15,889. Leitner, H. July 7. Lighting systems; regulation, automatic systems and apparatus for.-In a train-lighting system having regulators of the kind described in Specifications 25,784/04 and 6690/06, an electro-magnet is placed across a varying portion of the resistance placed in series with the lamps or across the regulating-cells of the battery, for the purpose of varying a resistance in the field circuit of the dynamo. Several electromagnets and resistances may be employed. In the arrangement shown n Fig. 1, the rheostat arm f operated by a motor, varies a resistance d in the lamp circuit and resistances e,f in the field circuit of the dynamo a. Across the active portion of the resistance d, the winding of an electromagnet m is placed. The armature n of the magnet m in its unattracted position shortcircuits a resistance p in one half of the field winding. When the fall of voltage across the active portion of the resistance d is sufficient to cause the magnet m to attract its armature n, the resistance p is inserted in one half of the field circuit of the generator. The connexions of the resistance e and the switch for controlling a resistance in series with it are not shown. In the arrangement shown in Fig. 2, the winding of the electro-magnet m is placed across the regulating-cells of the battery b, whereby the resistance p is placed in the field circuit when a predetermined number of the regulating-cells are switched out of circuit. The magnet m may be placed across a hand-regulated resistance.

Abstract: 9725. Hillman, W. April 21. Worm-and-wheel gearing.-In worm-and-wheel gearing for motor-cars, or heavy reduction gearing &c., balls rolling in grooves in the worm-wheel and engaging suitable grooves in the worm, form the transmitting-medium. As shown in Figs. 1 and 3, three or more balls c are arranged in each groove of the worm-wheel. and are retained therein by a fixed ring d, having a suitable gap within which the worm works. While transmitting the motion of the worm, the balls roll out of action along the grooves, and are returned to the central position to re-enter the retaining-ring d by inclined surfaces d<2> forming part of the ring d. In a modification, in which the inclined surfaces d<2> are not employed, plain rings, preferably fixed to each edge b of the worm-wheel, prevent the balls from falling out of the grooves while meshing with the worm, the action of gravity being depended upon to bring them back to the centre to re-enter the ring d. The worm may be arranged in an oil-bath beneath the wormwheel. The periphery of the worm-wheel forms a full semicircle in cross-section.

Abstract: 14,942. Milch, M. June 27, 1910, [Convention date]. Void. [Published under Section 91 of the Act.] Alternating-current commutator machines.- To increase the starting-torque of single-phase motors having series characteristics, the " torque-producing " or exciting winding of the motor may be switched at starting on to the taps of the transformer feeding the motor; or the other motor windings may be shunted by an ohmic resistance, with or without a reactance connected in parallel with the exciting-winding. Fig. 1 shows the application of the first arrangement to a compensated repulsion motor having a main stator winding 1 and exciting-brushes 4 connected to an exciting-transformer 7. At starting, the switch 5 is moved on to contact 6, whereby the exciting-transformer 7 is connected in series with a resistance 8 across the taps 9, 10 of the main transformer 11. On reaching a certain speed, the switch 5 is moved on to contact 13, and the motor is given a series characteristic. The resistance 8 may be introluced into circuit by means of a transformer. A compensated series motor regulated according to the second modification is shown in Fig. 3. At starting, a reactance 4 is connected in parallel with the exciting-winding 2, and an ohmic resistance 3 is connected in parallel with the armature and compensating-winding 1; the switches 6, 7 are opened when the motor has reached a suitable speed. The invention is applicable to repulsion motors and to " doubly- " fed " motors in which the " armature " brushes are connected to taps on the main transformer.
